"bot@fanfiction.net" (???) giving me a review from the God awful fanfic that I deleted from my memory and computer in one fell swoop. To be fair, I was twelve.
I am in physical pain.
ohmygodohmygodohmygod

Okay, it's now been a minute and a half, and I can appreciate the humor of this a little more. Someone called Chocolate Taco thought I had a really good start, but they asked me to e-mail them when I updated... Did ff.net not have an alert system?? And what the helllll was this story about? I mean, probably Lily/James, because that's all pretty much all I've ever written but... idk, this is freaking me out.
My repressed memories are trying to become un-repressed, and I don't want that to happen. I want to forget.
I also have e-mails from AOL instant messenger...
i want to read this! lololol
ReplyDeletehow old are you?
Oh, lord! This is why I changed my email address when I started college. I kept logging into my account and seeing all of these shittastic emails from when I was like 13 (How did I even find the internet at that age?)
ReplyDeleteOh, and at least you deleted that fic. I would have deleted everything I wrote when I was 13 but... I don't remember my username or password.
Batman take the wheel.
OMG THAT GIF <3
ReplyDeleteWell, I got a grown up e-mail like 2 years ago, but i keep my not-grown-up one for things like ff notifications.
ReplyDeleteWe were 21st century middle schoolers. We knew shit like the internet. Myspace and AIM and stuff. Yeah. That happened.
LULZ Christian Bale!Jesus

ReplyDeleteOh, God. Jesus Bale is my favorite thing ever.
That's true. I used MSN messenger with my best friend and that bitch kept all the conversations. They were ridiculous. My most frequented sites were Mugglenet and the WB HP message boards. God I was such a nerd.
^^Always.
ReplyDeleteso I'm reading these reviews, and slowly and painfully learning what I was up to. Apparently, a L/J that spanned all 7 years.
Vaguely, vaguely familiar. I couldn't tell you a single OCs name...
"the linking of the characters was really good."
What does that MEAN?! LINKING???
Also, they are largely pity reviews, 'cos they're all like, 'hurry up rite more k' and that's it. WHY WAS I EVER TWELVE?!?!
ReplyDeleteDude, I gave reviews like that all the time. Then, the more I thought about it, the more I forced myself to stop. I just felt compelled to say *something* because I feel bad when I read something and don't review. I try to be more verbose now but I am essentially saying the same thing.
ReplyDeleteDoes someone have a copy of your LAT outline document? What happens to the story if you die suddenly?
ReplyDelete(Not to be insensitive or anything)
ReplyDelete"Great so far!rnrnJust to let you know, chapters 3 and four are the same :)"
ReplyDeleteTears. These are tears.
Apparently, I was also mentally handicapped and posted the same chapter twice.
The sad thing is--I was, like, the smartest kid in my class.
Also, no one has my TLAT outline, so if I die tomorrow, James ended up with Carlotta. =X

ReplyDeleteDo not joke about such things (about Carlotta/James or death. That's right C/J are as bad as death itself).
But that review is gold.
Okay, these e-mails stop, and then the ITISNS ones start almost immediately.
ReplyDeleteEither I deleted a bunch, or I became dramatically less stupid overnight. ITISNS is no great work, but I haven't lobotomized myself because of it...
LOL BREE! STANLEY GIF FOR THE WIN!
ReplyDeleteJules, don't kill me but... I haven't read ITISNS yet. I didn't even know anything else existed other than TLAT until I saw your profile the other day ("Wait, Jules writes other stuff, too?!")
ReplyDeleteI always wondered what people on here talked about sometimes but I was too embarrassed to ask, lol.
It's not very good, don't feel obliged =P
ReplyDeleteAlthough.... I think I've realized something. Before ITISNS.... I was... I was... I was a Tara Gilesbie.
I mean, okay, ITISNS is OKAY; it has good **elements** and I'm quite fond of a few chapters... "Red," "The Lord and the Outlaw," and "Eleven and Everything," are quality, I think. But, on the whole, it's got more issues than TLAT has.
ReplyDeleteI'll read it and try to give you better reviews than, "the linking of the characters was really good." :)
ReplyDeleteLOL. Weren't we all? I mean, literally everyone I knew at that age wrote like that (with better spelling, of course). At one point, I read a fic where Lily finds Prisoner of Azkaban, the book (this was before OotP) and reads it to the Marauders. And apparently there's one where L/J meet Paris Hilton?
Well, the linking was very good.
ReplyDeleteActually... it was *quite* good...
probably the best i've ever done...

You are brilliant, you.
Also, "But, on the whole, it's got more issues than TLAT has."
TLAT has issues?
oh, yes, the poor dear is in therapy every week... =P
ReplyDeleteWell, it's being paranoid! I think it doesn't have issues and it is just wasting it's money and time on therapy.
ReplyDelete*its
ReplyDelete:-O
Awww, that's sweet. It does, however, have the issue of not having been updated very recently =P
ReplyDeleteTherapy won't fix that. A good beating will.
ReplyDeleteloljk
Well, good things take time and at least it doesn't disappoint when it finally updates :D
Bree's got a point, it certainly won't disappoint. :)
ReplyDeleteAs for those emails? my email address itself is a painful reminder of my 11 year old self... really need a new one...
Jules, I think you're just being hard on yourself! ITISNS, remains one of my favourite stories on FF.net.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't mind that TLAT isn't updated every week, with this blog makes the time gap between chapters seem so much shorter. Looking back into the past and knowing I waited for chapters without this blog, is terrifying.
Also I've written tons of stuff (always been too scared to post any of it) and when I went home over break, I stumbled over a bunch on my old computer in my room. Hours of laughing ensued. So you two are definitely not the only ones!

Jules, we may have to hire you a body guard, so you don't unexpectedly die on us.
ReplyDeleteJules, I have really, really bad news...

That's right. Plagiarism. But hey, look at it this way: you know you're officially awesome when someone starts plagiarising your work.
Whoever this author is, she is an idiot. This is her summary:
'He was James, and she was Lily, and one day they shared a kiss, but before that they shared many arguments, for he was cocky, and she was sweet, and matters of the heart can require time. LE/JP fic. Set at the end of 6th year to before they left Hogwarts.'
What an idiot.
But I checked the reviews (only one so far) and a rather wonderful anonymous has already spotted it and reported it :)
DUDE. DUDE! That's awful. Is it weird that I got strangely psyched for, like, a sec?
ReplyDeleteWow, okay, weird. Do I... do anything? I mean, it's already been reported...
Thanks so much for telling me, though. Seriously, what an asshole.
That sounded like I was calling you an asshole, 11:40. I meant the plagiarizer, obviously =P
ReplyDeleteJules, it's not weird. It's a little flattering that someone wants to pass off your work as their own.
ReplyDeleteIs it weird that I find it really funny? Plagiarizing online fanfiction seems incredibly pointless. Probably one of the dumbest things I've ever heard of.
Enjoy all the time you waste copying and pasting along with the 2 reviews you get from online strangers. I'm sure it has its rewards, moron.
